Yea, well... if I do get NDS I probably wont read on the bus. I don't think it helps me too much anyways, since I am in mathematics and when I read my books I require absolute concentration and the bus/subway is very noisy for me to concentrate (plus my constant fear of missing my stop makes things worse).

I got one as a present with R4. you can get a program to turn it into an MP3 player as well if you like. I used it while i commuted to and from univ. (approx. 1.5hours one way, so 3 hours round trip) eventually I got bored of it quick despite having the ability to play songs, practice french, and play various games i downloaded. I ended up playing tetris the most, maybe it's just my taste in games. I ended up just sleeping on the bus instead, something you might consider if you are gonna be tired waking up early or going back home from a long day at school.

no it really isnt~.... i kind of regret on getting ds instead of psp... i get bored of ds games so quickly~ although i do have to say ds given me a decent experience of some challenging games like knight of nightmares, disagea, tetris(lol shit gets so addicting to the point where i see tetris figures falling~)... ds is kind of late to get now~ i suggest just saving that money for something new to come~ at worst buy a used or replenished one to save money~...

yep I would definitely get a DS. I think its worth the money (although I can't say since I won mine for free in a photo contest :D)

If you do get a DS you should definitely play
Mario kart ds
pokemon platinum
Elite Beat Agents, Ouendan,Ouendan 2 (if you enjoy music games)
super mario ds (its like the mario on the N64 but not just a direct port, they added alot of stuff)
the world ends with you (alot of ppl like it..i don't really like it so far)

Disgaea is a ton of fun on DS. Love my DS. Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV, V among other games is a major plus as well. Pokemon Platinum is amazing if you havent played one since red/blue.

I don't regret the purchase one bit even though I own a ps3 and not a wii.

I still play ps2/snes games though, so I may be a bad judge of what will stay enjoyable enough to be worth the money for you.

If you do get one, Disgaea is the game to get if you like RPGs or tactics games at all. Reminds me of Conker's Bad Fur Day in its ability to make people burst out laughing.

I love the DS. I've had one for almost two and a half years and I always play it. One time my DS got stolen and I felt so empty without playing it, so I just had to buy a new one. It's a great console with a huge variety of games. Many people argue about how sucky its graphics are, but it seriously isn't that big a deal. You don't play games for graphics afterall. Look at Starcraft.
Get one.

Demonoid has torrents for every DS game ever made. There's even a massive 90+ gig torrent. Thepiratebay seems to have a big handheld section as well.

the DS disappoints me

the new voices in diddy kong racing DS pisses me off. and no silver coin challenge? they replaced it with a dumb popping balloon game? fuck that. can't they just not force touch screen features into the game and make it closer to the original instead?

and then there's yoshi's island DS which is okay but it is a lot more frustrating than the SNES version. for example, in the SNES version if you're at the very end of the level and you have like 29 stars, you can just use the +10 stars item that you won from the minigames. but in the DS version if you want 30 stars and you're at the end with 29 stars, you'd have to start all over. plus the music really sucks which depresses me. instead of these:+ Show Spoiler +

you get+ Show Spoiler +

But neither of those are RPGs so if you do like RPGs, get it.
